Scripts works with OSX 10.5 but not earlier because of Unicode

Hi, I have a script that now works fine on OSX 10.5 (Applescript 2?) but fails on 10.4 and earlier when the filename contains unicode characters. This ties in with this link http://www.apple.com/applescript/features/unicode.html, it seems I have to use the Unicode text class but I cant work out to use it so that it works on 10.5 and 10.4
Please help Im guessing this is quite trivial for regular applescript developers but not for me.


(in the script below the problem is the ǿ at the end of bee)
tell app "iTunes"
set new_playlist to (make user playlist with properties {name:"Jaikoz:4/10/08 1:31 PM"})
add(POSIX file "/Users/paul/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/beeǿ/A Hard Days Night/When I Get Home.mp3") to new_playlist
repeat with nexttrack in (get every track of new_playlist)
refresh nexttrack
end repeat
end tell


Thanks Paul
